Pep Guardiola - 2022/23

Feels like hes managing from a position of fear.

They would have punished us on the counter. Their tails were up. We controlled them the best way we could and have the chance to finish the job off.

They did anyway
Gundo can’t play 90mins at the top level anymore. Legs and wind are totally gone after an hour
Mahrez scored a great goal but did fuck all besides, then was a passenger second half.
Phil and Phillips would have injected energy and at least a bit of defensive gumption back towards their own goal

 

[LongsightM13]

It was a poor game but we didn't get beat and i think we'll beat them at ours.

We should have beaten them at theirs. Easily

Gundo is similar to Fernandinho and he is the leader. He may not quite have the stamina but he still has the influence and plays to what Pep wants from the team. Phil and Phillips would of injected energy but it would of to be at some cost to the games (and tie's) overall balance (even with them being in the ascendency)

Phillios has been awful whenever he plays and Phil was slightly injured.

 

[Damanino]

also said last time as well, he needs a proper number two.

Arteta is a pretty good manager on his own, what a great combo that was. Lillo also had hell of an experience as a manager.

now he is stuck with this old Spanish guy who looks bored on the bench and Maresca guy who was fired from Parma after 4-5 months?

Or if he brought a sub on it would of altered the balance of the team but not to their overall benefit.

Again, we'll never know. Would be nice to find out for once though. Especially after the Forest game where the same thing happened.

We had more chances vs Forest to kill the game. We decided that a complete attacking performance against a side that is currently unbeaten would not be the wisest of options.

Hey Mrs Guardiola, please start putting the chip pan on a little later.

Then he can stay for the full match.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Hes right in what he says but that doesn't excuse him once again not reacting to the game developing.

 

[ID70]

He tinkers and makes changes when not needed, but is always very slow to react when they are. As at Forest on Saturday you could see the tide in the game change yet nothing done to try to counter it

We all saw Ferna’s last season, one too many. A mistake. And he is my undisputed favourite City player of the last 20 years

 

[Brewster's millions]

Probably the most worrying interview he’s given since he’s been at the club, and the least genuine.

That is an absolutely fair and succinct analysis

It’s complete bollocks and a sad refusal to accept personal responsibility

 

[dublinblue12]

On the penalty and foul for the goal: 'I didn't see it, but I know what happened in these situations'.. Wonder what Pep meant by that?

 

[TB369]

It's not that we expect to win everytime, it's we expect them to try. Not passing to the striker and recycling the ball between the defenders with no intention of doing anything isn't trying. Not bringing on subs when the flow of the game is clearly against us isn't trying. I don't know if he lies in his interviews or is sometimes a little delusional about his own culpability.

 

[eastmanc]

Give RB Leipzig some credit they are in an lengthy unbeaten streak.

Fair enough but we still haven't put two good half's tougher all season.

 

[Don Karleone]

You should calm and be more respectful of our best manager ever. Wow...

I love Pep. It doesn't mean he gets a free pass when I think he's talking bollocks. The second game in a row where you could see a change was needed after a great first half and he does nothing.
